As for your remarks on Muslims outside the west, the blame falls squarely on the regimes and their dysfunctional leaders who hundreds of years have ground them into the ground- and you have people who will defend the dysfunction, brokenness and oppressive regimes.

The magnitude of the tragedy is almost incomprehensible.
